According to last thread Trigger said Devas get into trouble next ep. It's gonna be crazy seeing Nui whomp them all if that's what's going down or if Ragyou really has power over to them due to those colored life fibers

>>101912340
Ryuuko and Mako spend a lot of time together and Trigger almost seems to be baiting people in to drawing Gamako stuff. Ryuuko and Satsuki are obvious before the show even started because of standard nemesis homo-eroticism

I wouldn't be surprised if she stops giving a shit about overthrowing Life Fibers after this plan of hers fails and aids Ryuuko in her fight because doing that also involves getting Ragyo from what she wants.

Or maybe she will actually see Ryuuko's side in this, I don't know. This shit with her mother seems far more personal than it is political.

I hate shippings but I kinda hope Gamako is real for now because this would mean that Gama has higher chances of surviving the next episodes.
Unless they do the same shit as in TTGL again.
I still miss Kamina and Kittan.

I can only see it getting ruined by killing of the main shipper characters. Ryuuko is the main character and there are too many episodes left so she is safe. Satsuki seems too important to kill of at this point ether. So My guess as to how to ruin valentines day would be to kill off the Devas or at least a couple of them.

>>101912916
I don't think they made them much more likeable. Gama's story is the only sad one. And Satsuki's. Nonon was loved by everyone. Her story is rather sad because it's unfair if you think of the shitty life many other characters had. And Uzu's story is neither sad nor happy. It's actually pretty neutral in my opinion.

>>101913398
I hope they won't do this. Letting the big loyal guys die is one of those stereotypes which are popular enough to be annoying. I hope Trigger will let them live for once. This would be the real unexpected twist since everyone is assuming that Gama and maybe Tsumugu will get killed.

>>101913496
You don't "care"? It doesn't matter what you care about.
It would a logically sound plot decision to draw Ryuko and Satsuki together through the tragedy of losing friends. They both have friends, they both care about their friends, Gamagori is the only member of the 3 stars to give a shit about no stars at a personal level, so it should be obvious that the forging of Gamako was to bring the sisters together.

>>101914161
Not to mention that a magazine wouldn't spoiler shit that is about to happen/become canon 10 episodes later. Since it didn't happen yet. I am pretty sure they just meant their interaction or maybe it was actually just a comment to this scene in episode 4. Commenting on already aired episodes is a pretty common thing for magazine reports.

I'd also make a cute little heart out of McDonald's double cheeseburgers for her put the fries inside of the big heart so they look like life fibers. THEN I'd put ketchup ON THE FRIES, so it looks even MORE like life fibers!

After our tasty McMeal, I'd take Ragyo to the liquor shop, where we'd get some cheap liquor. We'd both be pretty full from the McDonald's, so we'd take a nice romantic stroll to the park, arm-in-arm, while I carried a giant bag of liquor and 40's for her.

Once we were at the park, I'd put on some romantic music; something booty-bumpin' good, like Baby Got Back by sirmixalot (I'd leave a boombox hidden in the park the night before to surprise her). Me and Ragyo would start dirty-dancing, and I'd be grinding my dick all over her butt through my pants, until we both got a little thirsty; that's when we'd start guzzling some Hurricane HG and getting really dirty. I'd eventually work my dick out of my pants and grind it on her perfect dress, maybe even tearing it so I can bury my dick n her perfect butthole. I'd fuck her while baby got back blasted bass reverbs around the area, and we'd just piss ourselves like animals when we needed to from all the malt liquor consumption.

See, Ragyo is a girl who's lived such a life of luxury, that the only romantic thing to do is give her a night of filthy, salt-of-the-earth fun, complete with fast food, cheap booze, and lots of unprepped buttfucking, resulting in a dirty poo-poo dick to get really into that hot-hot nasty.

>>101913368
I think it's a pretty decent possiblity that Satsuki won't die in this arc simply because Ryuuko won't allow that to happen due to her being the MC and of course the MC is always a moralfag.

Would Satsuki fans be ok with Ryuuko picking her and Senketsu Shippu'ing her to safety or would they get mad and rather her be saved but have like Gama carry her instead?

Why do people expect the devas to get effortlessly destroyed? This is the first time we are seeing the devas fight as a team, and their uniforms are better protected against Nui's bullshit now. The scissor blade doesn't even work on Gama's armor. The devas will at least put up a good fight unless Nui pulls some "now I actually have to get serious" power-up garbage.

>>101915033
I will be sad if she won't save Gama after he looked after her a bunch of times. I don't mean shipping shit. >>101915046>not spending your Valentine's Day with your waifu and watching her anime

>>101915100>The devas will at least put up a good fight unless Nui pulls some "now I actually have to get serious" power-up garbage
You mean one of the Devas is actually gonna manage to hit her and she'll start taking the fight seriously?
Maybe.

>>101915523
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if Junketsu is destroyed too.

The only way he sticks around is if turns out Satsuki's fear of Life Fibers is causing her to mistreat him and he actually isn't that bad. Junketsu could very easily have to be destroyed to save Satsuki's life.

>>101915575>nobody dies>there is absolutely no romance
I would be happy with this. I guess some of the antagonists have to die though.
Screw the second thing. I would be pissed. But at least my favorite character wouldn't die alone.

Obviously they have no chance but even if it's all a ploy I'd like to actually see them fight. I mean shit, what the hell does Inumata's suit even fucking do? If it gets destroyed immediately and we don't see it I'll be mad.

>>101913911
Satsuki doesnt think she's stronger, her mother disproves that regularly. She wants to be stronger. I think getting carried like that would hurt her in comfirming that she wasnt strong enough, but facts are facts and she'd get over it. She's proved in the past she'd rather be publicly humiliated then die.

>>101915983>After Devas show off their new suits, it's just a shot of Nui's smug smile and cut to Ragyo/Satsuki/Ryuko and Tsumugu vs Rei>In the ep19 preview Devas are seen in hospital robes lying with their butts up and eating ice cream>Uzu is blushing

>>101916166>Gama gets knocked out by Nui and sent flying>Lands naked on Mako, knocking her unconscious>Later that day>They both regain consciousness>Gama apologises to Mako and promises to take responsibility

>>101916142>also Ryuuko already came out on top against Satsuki in episode 15
Due to Senketsu. If we get a Junketsu and Satsuki team up at some point (which actually seems likely now due to the necessity of peace between humans and life fibers in the story) we'll have a true battle.

>>101916303
Where is Satsuki's red straight of hair? Where are her weird eyes? Ryuuko is clearly a special super-human. Senketsu is a unique Kamui that resulted from the work of the greatest scientist in Earth.

That would be lame if that happened. Senketsu and Ryuuko's relationship is special and they worked hard for it, Satsuki being able to snap her fingers and get the same thing would undermine Ryuuko and Senketsu.

>>101916442
Trigger said that Ryuuko picked up the victory, like in an earlier episode where Satsuki had Ryuuko on her knees with a sword in front of her face Ryuuko did the opposite in episode 15 and it was with Satsuki's own sword.

I genuinely believe Nui will reveal her real power-level this arc. We need to know that Nui and Ragyou are a thread; if they have special powers they need to be revealed know. If Nui just reveals her special form in her final fight against Ryuuko and she just loses in the same episode then her special form was never a threat. Know what I mean? They need to show off Magical Girl Nui at least once.

a) She is able to summon armies of puppets
b) She is able to TURN PEOPLE into puppets
c) Straightforward magical girl powers including a whole lot of beamspam
d) Shapeless monster that will be shown as a shadow and beat the Devas off-screen

>>101916536
The end result was tie in a battle that had Satsuki in complete control until Ryuko used a surprise tactic, that won't ever work a second time, to bring them to a standoff. For the one on one fight it was tie at best.

>>101916476>>101916487
In order for their to be peace and harmony between humanity and life fibers we both have to forgive the other. And Junketsu is the ONLY life fibers in the series known to be mistreated and can forgive.

Satsuki accepting Junketsu as her father's gift of love to her and his will to protect and keep his daughter safe (If that's his will even) instead of seeing all life fibers responsible for killing him (If Ragyou did that) would be important development for Satsuki.

>>101916814
Which would imply Ragyo has more but not that Ryuuko doesn't have any.

For reference Satsuki's hair does not change when she dons Junketsu, although this could possibly be because she overrides him. If they try to mend their relationship later, if Junketsu is even capable of symbiosis and Satsuki's hair does change then I guess we can rule this theory out.

>>101916800
Isshin has been portrayed as the end-all of scientists in the Kill la Kill world. Senketsu was the ultimate masterpiece of Isshin. Isshin lost his loved one and sacrificed the chance to interact with his daughter in order to complete it. Senketsu was completed at least 15 years after Junketsu. Why would Junketsu be remotely similar to it?

>>101916980>Isshin has been portrayed as the end-all of scientists in the Kill la Kill world. Senketsu was the ultimate masterpiece of Isshin

You're severely underestimating the sheer superiority of the Kiryuuin bloodline. While people can't take 40% and up life fiber suits you have Satsuki who's toleration 100% and THEN some with it being a Kamui.

>>101917151
They might not rehash the entire story but I wouldn't be surprised if symbiosis is possible with him, remember that Ryuuko seems to want humanity to all be like her and more than likely humanity will be the bad guys here, who are not using the Life Fibers correctly and hurting them. Having the former antagonist and someone who said it was impossible learn that it is in fact possible would help strengthen Ryuuko's ideals, both Satsuki and Tsumugu don't believe because of personal issues.

Unless they're saying this isn't at all possible and Ryuuko and Senketsu is the only possible case of this and will forever be the only case of it then I would not be surprised if Junketsu CAN synchronize with Satsuki. I don't know if they'd rehash the whole origin story of it, though.

Satsuki's father is connected to Junketsu in some way and we don't even know who her dad is yet. Junketsu's origin story has not been told yet.

Satsuki's father achieves it in almost no time at all due to being a Kiryuuin while Ryuuko's father despite being a genius still struggles to better emphasis talent VS hard work and the differences between Satsuki and Ryuuko.

>>101917683
Ryuuko doesn't work hard at all. She hits things until they die with her super special scissor blade, while wearing her super special kamui that is the most specialest because her super special father tailored it to her DNA.

Ryuuko is not a hardworking protagonist, she's a girl who has had all remarkable things about her handed to her

Life Fibers are just a tool by nature. The fact they are alive is merely a by-product necessitated by the fact of their purpose in harvesting life in the most efficient manner possible.

The Life Fibers consume all life once it has reached a certain point in its development and is then reabsorbed by the creator of the Life Fibers, a being that feeds on the life force and consciousness of highly evolved worlds.

Earth is merely caught in the web of something far older and sinister.

>>101917640
I believe the sword was supposed to come from his line of the family but I don't know how much of what was said about the origins of Bakuzan around the start of the show was accurate translations or someone fucking with us. Bakuzan is supposed to be handed down through the Kiryuuin family I think or something, I dunno.

Also due to their high standards if the Kiryuuin side is in fact Ragyou they wouldn't ever accept anyone beneath themselves and vice versa

>>101917828>Satsuki doesn't work hard at all. She hits things until they die with her super special Bakuzan folded over 1000 times by master artisans filthy gaijin go home, while wearing her super special kamui that is the most strongest because her super special mother tailored it for MUH RESOLVE.

>Satsuki is not a hardworking protagonist, she's a girl who has had all remarkable things about her handed to her

>>101918077>Also due to their high standards if the Kiryuuin side is in fact Ragyou they wouldn't ever accept anyone beneath themselves
They have to breed with someone unless there's inbreeding involved instead

>>101917828
Senketsu is much weaker than Junketsu, it just happens to be safer to wear. And Satsuki hard-works even less than Ryuuko, she is a rich girl with access to as much money as she needs. Ryuuko wearing Senketsu is the only reason she has struggled in her entire life (so far since she is obviously getting rekt by Ragyou).

>>101918199
Every single episode begins by undoing the suspense built by the last one. If something significance happens, it is backtracked to normalcy. I bet it will happen again next episode. Ragyo is going to be 100% unaffected by the back stab and it was all for not.

>>101918451>Junketsu is canonically stronger than Senketsu. Senketsu's base stats are supposed to be really weak because it is an artificial Kamui. It got stronger thanks to eatin Life Fiber.>source: my ass
nothing about senketsu's power was said, apart from it not being able to cut junketsu, and satsuki claiming that the opposite is possible, though she might very well have been bluffing

>>101918810
who's to say the same wouldn't happen to that "spear" if satsuki attempted to go through with her threat?
they are both very resistant to damage, but that doesn't mean they're good as weapons against each other

>Satsuki using the better gun>getting help from Nonon (and it wasn't even her plan, Nonon offered the ride)>still gets pushed into a corner and almost gets killed because MUH PRIDE

That's Satsuki's main character flaw, her pride. Wearing Junketsu at all was a mistake but she did it because Ryuuko got Senketsu and she couldn't stand someone wearing a Kamui before her. Thinking she is ready to fight against Ragyou and Nui is a mistake but she did it because as far as she is concerned she can't fail. Satsuki's pride will be her downfall.

>>101919092
She could just drop the plan and ally with Ryuuko/NB to get a better chance, but she didn't because she said so herself: when she decides something, she can't go back on her choice because MUH PRIDE. It doesn't matter what the consequences are.

>>101919223
isshin, the only person who actually managed to land some hits on nui got killed by her in cold blood
she also nearly killed ryuuko, if not for satsuki's intervention
sanageyama also presumably nearly killed ryuuko in ep 6, if not for his wardrobe malfunction
i'd say the stakes are fairly high

I don't think she does, at least based on just the preview. She's seen earlier episode 17 with the same ROYBIV spools (though she only holds six of the seven in the preview). They are merely rainbow colored, suiting her nature, rather than something that corresponds to the particular colors of the Four Elites

>>101919377>Lose your uniform? You just get a new one.
In case you only pay attention to the fights, the devas only got their uniforms back because the whole thing was planned to begin with
sanageyama got two in total, but the first one was hardly without consequence

Dead by the time the show ends:
-Gama
-Sensei
-Tsumugu
-Ragyou
-Junketsu

Nui will get a Katejina end. Senketsu will fly away. Ryuuko will become some sort of super-human being and everyone will forget both her and the conflict. Ryuuko keeps watch as Earth's guardian forever. The end.

>>101919466
Them having replacement uniforms all along doesn't change anything. In the end they still got their ass kicked with no significant consequence. That one dude cut out his eyes, but it doesn't seem to affect him very much.

And this annoys me so much because the one part where the show really had me on the edge of my seat thinking 'wow holy shit what's going to happen now' was when Senketsu was sliced up. And guess what happened? Nothing, 5 minutes of crying over it and then the whole deal was reversed in less than an episode.
I mean what is this, fucking Dragonball? just collect all the pieces and everything goes back to normal? It's silly and it hurts the show.

>>101919223>Not really. Who exactly died in all those fights so far? And Mako surviving everything because lol comedy doesn't help to build tension.
It most certainly does if the point is to give you a false sense of security and you begin to become aware of this and fear what will happen to the seemingly untouchable character.

>>101919581
No it doesn't, it implies that Satsuki was a normal happy child like everyone else before so Nonon found her boring. She suddenly became interested when Satsuki changed as a person because such a big shift in character would rouse the interest of a lot of people. And not just that, we see that she starts proclaiming bold revolutionary ideas which little kids typically don't do so she became further interested in her.

>>101919820>You're right, but it's still pride. She could call it off and think of a different plan but her pride stops her from doing it.
Objectively wrong, again. This is it. This is the test so that she can convert the whole world.

Kill la Kill is Ryuuko's "origin story". She is going to become a wandering hero that travels across realities in order to stop whoever the true main villain is. The extra-episode is Ryuuko visiting an alternate world and meeting that world Mako and Satsuki.

>>101920141
Haven't seen any yet or else I would have saved them. I am even checking tumblr since some people there tend to scan shit from time to time. I hope someone will do this. Maybe some elevens scanned this already but I can't into runes.

Trigger will keep milking the characters till the bitter end. I mean, Inumuta could technically die because no one gives a shit about him, but since no one gives a shit about him it would have no impact and would be a waste of ink to draw his death scene.

This thread>Implying it won't be a sacrifice type deal, both confirming a ship and killing it at the same time.
This IS Trigger after all, I wouldn't even be surprised if it was some completely unexpected ship that almost no one supports or something just to screw with everyone a little extra.

>>101920971
Honestly I think Dog being an asshole actually gives him MORE plot armor than the other characters, I mean what's the point of killing a character if it won't have any significant effect on the viewers?

There's a lot of characters that should've already died. If this were Game of Thrones, Ragyo would have actually died when she was killed by Satsuki. But since this is anime, and you gotta milk those figurines, she will be back in the next episode. It is so expected in the genre that they didn't even bother to hide it and have shown her being alive in the preview.

>>101921222>>101921222>>101921222
Don't post this, anyone. If you post this I will kill myself, I swear. Please, for God's sake DON'T POST THIS. It's not /a/nime and it's nsfw so ... DON'T...>> POST IT << or I will kill myself.

>>101921360
No there's some characters I like but I wouldn't mind if they died, it's good for plot if characters die. Everyone except Satsuki, because she is my anime waifu, she is a strong independent woman just like the great female characters from the aforementioned show.

>>101921190
What if Satsuki and Ryuko's roles were switched? They keep their personality and appearances, but it's Satsuki who is finding out who hold the other half of the scissorblade, and Ryuko is running Honnouji?

>>101921528
He's humping her. But he's so obscured from view I mean, I just wouldn't count it as explicit. But in hindsight maybe it is? Still, I want to know the down low about that gif. I can't find it either.

>>101921566
Just because SnK is actually my favorite anime and manga does not mean you win. It is my favorite because of the deep plot and characters dying. Note that I'm not a blind favorite, no one important has died in the last 20 chapters so it's getting very bad and I don't like it much anymore.

Kill la Kill would immediately topple it if they killed, like, I dunno, Mako, Gamagori, Monkey and Inumuta (3 of them die fighting Nui, Nonon barely survives because the guys sacrifice themselves for her, Gama sacrifices himself for Mako but he is a failure so Mako dies anyway).

>>101921604
Did anyone else actually get triggered by this scene? It was so drastic, so abusive and misogynistic towards women, it made me feel ill in my stomach. Maybe it's because, you know, I am actually a girl but it was really sickening overall.

>>101921746>>101921740
Can you honestly say that the twist that I proposed would not make KLK a 10/10 unforgettable anime?

Gamagori sacrifices himself with all his bara strength for qt little Mako, anime cliché and whatnot - but then Mako actually dies (drastic, something with guts spilled a lot, just like Petra in SNK) anyway.

It would be so rage inducing to the fanboys. Just like Hideaki Anno's masterpiece.

>>101921748
Yeah, I hate this. Whatever happens, everything will make shipperfags more annoying - the question is just which shippers. I want them to team up and I even want some more Inu and Nonon or Uzu scenes and Gama and Mako scenes but I know that the shippers will become unbearable once one of these things happen.
I have to admit that some of them are less annyoing than others though. But that's probably just because of the different popularity.

>>101921929
Oh really? I have read probably more classic literature and good literature books than this entire thread combined. I have read Crime and Punishment, the probably best Russian book ever made.

Just because you don't like the plot does not mean it's not good. Good plot doesn't try to be likeable for people who can't understand/appreciate depth and metaphore.

>>101921767
I loved that scene. Don't care shit about gender.
I liked how nobody was expecting this and that there is a character how can act badass for once without being some psychopathic killer at the same time.

Something bad happening to a female does not become misogyny just because it's happening to a female. It needs to be BECAUSE she's female, with no other circumstances or contextual information. This is clearly not the case here, and trying to claim that it is, is very self-centred and narcissistic.

>>101922077
I actually like many of such pictures as well. What's annoying is the actual shipping and when people claim everything to be canon and attack you when you show that you don't believe in their pairing or romance at all.

>>101922294>>101922331>>101922370>>101922392
Seriously? Now you're just going to make fun of me because of spelling mistake? I am French and we write it as "métaphore" so I thought that since you English monkeys steal every word from us you kept the "e" at the end as well.

>>101922405
I'm not sure how many people on /a/ legitimately believe that there's something to these pairings, although I guess it actually seems to be worse with Gamako though with people seemingly legitimately guessing Gamagori will sacrifice his life for Mako.

It's highly likely Ryuuko will save Satsuki's life in one of the upcoming episodes, but it certainly is not because Ryuuko loves Satsuki it's because Ryuuko is a nice person and a hero, saving people is what she does.

>>101922688>legitimately believe
Here's the thing - it always starts of as a random joke, but then pepole actually start beliving it and liking it.

Just like MLP started as a joke on /b/ when they wanted to kill themselves after looking at girl cartoons, but then instead they fell in love with the show and theoretically did kill themselves by becoming less than human.

>>101923760
Isn't /co/ and tumblr more or less the same? I never visited it I just know what people here talk about.
I am surprized about the Gamas on tumblr though. Maybe he is so perfect that even tumblr grills like him.
